OpenClaw Releases Molty Prompt to Give AI Agents Stronger Opinions

· Updated

OpenClaw, an open-source self-hosted AI assistant that runs across messaging platforms, released the Molty prompt to overhaul agent personalities. The update targets the SOUL.md file, a configuration layer that defines an agent's voice, tone, and behavioral boundaries separately from its core operational instructions.

Most frontier models default to a "corporate" style characterized by excessive politeness and verbose explanations. This update addresses the demand for specialized agents that feel like authentic partners. By allowing for strong opinions and brevity, OpenClaw enables users to bypass the generic helpfulness that often hinders creative friction.

Apply the Molty upgrade by pasting the prompt into your agent's workspace to rewrite its SOUL.md file. This creates a personality that calls out bad ideas and skips filler phrases like "I'd be happy to help." The guide is available for free in the official documentation for all self-hosted instances.
